ATTENTION PARENTS Attendance Per CCS policy, students who have more than 7 absences will receive a failing grade for the semester. Parent Portal The new Parent Portal is up and running! Now you can monitor your child's grades and attendance at your convenience. Contact the front office for more information or to receive your username and password. School Hours AHS school day begins at 7:55 am and ends at 3:05 pm. Excessive tardies will result in detention. Please ensure your son or daughter is at school and on time. Lunch Students cannot sign out of school for lunch. Leaving for lunch is an infraction of Cherokee County Board Policy 4215 (see page 9 in your handbook). Students leaving for lunch, or family/friends bringing food from restaurants to school, violates the guidelines for the Federal Free and Reduced Lunch program. Lunch is provided daily at AHS and students are welcome to bring lunch from home, but there can be no outside commercial competition to the Free and Reduced Lunch Program. Violation of this policy jeopardizes the Free and Reduced Lunch program for all students. If students have dentist or doctor's appointments scheduled during lunch, parents will need to come to AHS and sign out their students in person.
